Now, I don't know about any of you lot, but I'm a big fan of the Mortal Kombat series. The Mortal Kombat series is well known for it's violence, gore and fatalities. Pretty much every game in the series has recieved a 'Mature' rating, and the sight of someones head being removed cleanly from the body is all too common.
Yet now, in the latest game, they've decided 'Y'know what? Let's get our vicious killing machines... and shove them up against DC Comics Superheroes.' Now this to me, is the first mistake. I mean, looking at the characters of Mortal Kombat, they're all very dark, and mostly take themselves way too seriously... so imagine this evil spirit, returned from the dead to avenge his tribesmen going up against... Superman. Is it just me, or does that not work?
Then my second complaint. The removal of fatalities. Fatalities are one of the core things which bought Mortal Kombat into existence and made it so popular... And plus there's the fact that I'd do pretty much anything to rip the head off of Superman.
Now, I may be a bit biased. I don't really like superheroes, and I REALLY don't like DC. I mean, this game is fine for anyone who likes DC. It will do for them. But it's not like it's just a side game with the crossover in it. It's an actual continuation of the storyline, and for those people who like Mortal Kombat, yet dislike DC, this is kind of a kick in the teeth. But anyway, enough complaining, here's some screenshots and videos.

Scorpion
Sub-Zero

Superman

*BZZZZZZZZZT!* Whoa! Mortal kombat vs DC?! Okay, most DC heroes are reasonably dark, but this is ridiculous; Superman is INVULNERABLE for crying out loud! And the Green Lantern's going to waste any mere mortal most good days of the week. Batman, Wonder Woman, heck maybe even Hawkman would be fine for this kinda game, but come on; MK characters are SO not going to be able to take down super-powered individuals.

Besides, Marvel PWNS DC big-league. Boo to DC!

Lol, Bladder.


I loved Mortal Combat when I was little. But what the hell? DC Characters? That's like crossing Pokemon with Mario, it's just an odd mix that shouldn't be. To have a dark, bloody game be mixed with DC characters (and remove the blood and fatalities) is just crazy.

And would Mortal Combat be Mortal Combat without the gore? It's like taking the gore away from Saw. It doesn't work.

Actually, I believe you'll find that the Mortal Kombat series spells it with a K.

There will be blood, just not to an extreme level, and no fatalities.
